Benvolio Montague is a fictional character in William Shakespeare's drama Romeo and Juliet.

Benvolio is Montague's nephew and Romeo's cousin.

The name Benvolio means " good-will " or " well-wisher " or " Peacemaker " which is a role he fills, to some degree, as a peace-maker and Romeo's friend.

Benvolio spends most of Act I attempting to distract his cousin from his infatuation with Rosaline as he himself is secretly infatuated with her, but following the first appearance of Mercutio in I. iv, he and Mercutio become more closely aligned until III. i. In that scene, he drags the fatally wounded Mercutio offstage, before returning to inform Romeo of Mercutio's death and the Prince of the course of Mercutio's and Tybalt's deaths.

Benvolio then disappears from the play ( though, as a Montague, he may implicitly be included in the stage direction in the final scene " Enter Lord Montague and others ", and he is sometimes doubled with Balthasar ).

It should be noted however that in some editions, Benvolio was prematurely killed by Paris at Juliet's tomb in V ( before Paris himself is killed by Romeo ).

Byam Shaw continued to work with Gielgud, playing Laertes to his Hamlet in 1934, and Benvolio in the celebrated 1935 Old Vic production of Romeo and Juliet with Peggy Ashcroft as Juliet and Gielgud and Olivier alternating the roles of Romeo and Mercutio.
